Ultramodern Machinery of Nurseries Moed
At J.H. Moed Nurseries we are proud of our ultramodern machinery that enables us to carry out our cultivation work with precision and efficiency. Our machinery comprises advanced technologies and innovative equipment that contribute to our sustainable and productive agricultural practices. Here is an overview of some of our most important machines and technologies.
Tractor with Soucy Tracks
One of our six tractors is equipped with Soucy Tracks, which signifies a considerable improvement compared to traditional wheels. The Soucy tracks produce:
Less soil compaction
Soucy tracks distribute the tractor's weight more evenly, and the soil is less compacted. This preserves the soil structure and promotes healthier crops.
Better traction and stability
The Soucy tracks ensure that we can work the land in wet weather too. In the autumn in particular, when it is often wet, we can still provide our clients with plants. It ensures more efficient work in a range of conditions.
Sustainability
With reduced fuel consumption and a longer lifespan of the Soucy tracks, they contribute to our sustainability targets.
Climax Plantlift
The Climax Plantlift is an essential part of our machinery for lifting plants, such as rose rootstocks. This machine offers:
Efficient lifting
The Climax Plantlift can lift plants quickly and accurately, which increases productivity and reduces labour costs.
Minimal plant damage
The precise lifting technology ensures the root systems of the plants remain intact, which produces healthy plants that can be replanted.
Easing of the labour process
After lifting, the machine bundles the plants fully automatically, and then throws the bundles next to the machine on the land. Packing the bundled plants in crates is the only work that remains for our employees. When the plants are in the crates, they are taken to our cold store as quickly as possible.
GPS on Tractors
GPS technology plays a crucial role in modern agriculture and is used on all our tractors. Its benefits include:
Accuracy
GPS facilitates accurate place determination and automatic control, reducing overlap and more efficient use of resources.
Geofencing and geolocation
With GPS we can set geofences to ensure our tractors remain within specific areas and work more efficiently.
Data analysis
By analysing GPS data, we can take more informed decisions about crop management, which in turns produces higher yields and lower costs.
Cold store with Reldair system
At J.H. Moed Nurseries we focus on sustainable and efficient cultivation practices. An important element of our modern approach is the use of the Reldair system for climate control in our cold store. With this advanced system we can automatically create optimum storage conditions for our bare-rooted plants. That benefits the quality of the plants and ensures they will grow well the next season.
Benefits of the Reldair system
Optimum humidity
With the Reldair system, we can control the humidity fully automatically and accurately, and that is essential to quality control and next year’s growth when our plants are with our purchasers. By maintaining stable humidity, we can prevent drying out and guarantee the quality of our plants.
Fungi control
The system also helps to prevent fungi, and that ensures a cleaner and healthier regrowth at our purchasers. This is particularly important for the rose rootstocks, which is susceptible to fungi that can impede regrowth.
Energy savings
With the efficient operation of the Reldair system, we consume less water and energy, which benefits the environment and reduces costs at the same time. The fine mist particles evaporate quickly, which facilitates effective cooling and humidifying with a minimum use of resources.
Electric forklift trucks
In line with our sustainable business operations we use electric forklift trucks instead of traditional diesel models. The advantages:
No emissions
Electric forklift trucks do emit harmful gases, which contributes to a cleaner work environment and less impact on the planet.
Lower noise levels
The forklift trucks are quieter to use, which produces a more comfortable and safer work environment for our employees.
Efficiency and cost savings
Electric forklift trucks have lower operational costs and require less maintenance, which in turn leads to long-term cost savings.
